Salento to Medellin route map

Trip Salento Medellin by car

We could have taken an Armenia Medelin flight but we prefer the car to see the landscapes scroll and change in front of our eyes from kilometers to kilometers. And again, we filled our eyes with wonderful images!

The road, which is rather good, crosses among others fields of pineapple and plantations of sugar cane. The trip will last 8 hours but we will not be bored!

Moreover, our friendly driver Alberto, will stop on the side
of the road to offer us a whole pineapple for everyone to enjoy at 10:00 in the
morning. It was a real treat, the real taste of the fruit explodes our taste
buds.

And a few dozen kilometers away, it’s to buy panela that we
stop again. With the sugar cane juice that cooks until you get a caramel,
Colombians make “Panelas” breads. They then use it to make sweet
products “dulces” (nougats, caramels, biscuits …) but especially
for the local drink: el agua de panela. They mix a little of this panela with
fresh water and add lemon and ice cubes.

Cheap Hotel in Medellin – Guest House Poblado Manila

What I liked about this Guest House

Its geographical situation because it is located next to EL POBLADO district;

The fact that it is an apartment because we stayed there for 3 nights and I was able to do laundry because it has a washing machine !!! ;

The terrace with view on which we ate and we took all our breakfasts;

The cleanliness of the rooms;

Its price very interesting compared to hotels in the same area: 21 Euros per night.

What I didn’t like about this Guest House

The fact that the common areas are very old and poorly maintained;

The lack of crockery (the other occupants taking the bowls in their rooms …).
